So much catching up to do!

I have been a bad blogger... I walk through life composing blogs in my head, but I rarely get here anymore. What can I say? (throws hands in the air for dramatic effect).

So, I think it is important that you know a couple of key things that have happened lately and then some fun posts with pictures will follow. :)

1. Angus says please... and thank you. WITHOUT being asked! Can you believe that?! awesomeness. We have the best kid ever... clearly it's because we are the best parents ever. :) By the way, lest you miss it in person, please is: beez and thank you is: teku.

2. Angus shares. The other night at dinner he wanted to hold his fire guy (a little fireman action figure) and he happily chatted with him while offering him bits of chicken. He paused briefly to ask for his water cup and upon receipt started to "feed" chicken to the water too. Who knew that 16 month olds had imagination?! Again... awesome.

3. This is just a funny story, no moral: So after drinking his water Angus always throws his cup. I have no idea why, he certainly hasn't observed us doing that sort of thing, but we also never really addressed the issue until now. At dinner recent Rod was asking Angus to set his cup down gently. After several prompts Angus took a drink and then nuzzled the cup in the crook of his neck, kissed it, hugged it, and then set it down. Get it? Gentle! That's his perception of gentle; hugs and kisses. Love it!

4. Other funny and/or scary things that have happened: He's tried to ride the dog, unsuccessfully... and no one got hurt, he can climb out of the bathtub (ack!), he will "clink" his cup with yours when you say "salud!" to him, he has an affinity for "guys" (little play action figures), and him and Rod spent time 100% alone for a couple of days because Momma went on a business trip and we all survived!
